The Language Boutique asked people the above question to find out what language learners think. The ultimate aim is, of course to improve our services.
* Motivation came out top with 31% of the vote followed by
* A reason with 25%, but as it was pointed out:
"I think motivation and a reason are the same thing really. A reason may be a job or it may be your personal pride, both will get the job done. But we all know that the best reason (or motivation) is throwing yourself into that other country where you have no choice.... the difference between being able to go grocery shopping or not, have friends or not, get by on a daily basis or not is a damn good motivation.."
* A good ear came next with 14,5%, which is something that I personally would love to have.
* Time received 10,4%
* A good teacher with 8,3% surprised me as I had expected it to be higher up the list but I suppose it could be because there is very little a teacher can do without the motivation or a reason to study, but then again a good teacher should be able to motivate and give students a good reason to make the effort.
* lastly with just over 6% came the importance of attention to pronunciation.
What do the blog readers think?
